Giving everyone a heads up on class balance changes could potentially take effect as early as later tonight. Many of these changes may not be reflected in tooltips.

oh Yay, Warriors are Getting Nerfed Again, just like every other Expansion. they already lost their ability to soak damage due to being the only tank class without spammable self heals and the loss of dodge and parry as stats and it isn't like protection Warriors can queue as DPS dealers for leveling, we have to queue as tanks if we play one and well, i can't replace my warrior's set of looms because there is no way to purchase replacements\r\ri think Gladiator stance should be gained as a lower level protection warrior ability for leveling and not a talent tax, so we don't have to be booted from tanking for 99 levels due to being the only tank with no self heals to survive things and lousy mitigation ability. because all the tanking gear isn't really quality tanking gear until WoD content heehee. and the tank can't queue as a bulky DPS either, and by bulky DPS, i mean DPS who trades some damage for survivability, because there isn't a lot of difference between 1 and 2handed weapons until like the pandaria levels thanks to the squish

Nothing major, leaving my monk alone as they should.

Warriors are easily top on DPS by far!

Lack of Survival buffs, though. That sad. :<

Warriors are EASILY top DPS at level 90 right now. If you are getting low dps as a warrior at level 90 with 6.0 out, you are not good at being a warrior.

How about reducing some of the survival hunter nerfs since we are WAY DOWN on the sims now. Bottom of the totem pole by a wide margin. Don't just leave us hanging there. It seems like explosive shot isn't even hitting, and black arrow ticks are a joke.

LEAVE CHIMERA ALONE!\r\rHunters have the advantage of being to do all of their dps on the move AND from range, which generally means they need to sacrifice some damage on stand-still fights to make their overall balancing even.

yes, because MM the current top spec, doesnt have a penalty for moving. *cough* does less damage while moving *cough*

oh Yay, Warriors are Getting Nerfed Again, just like every other Expansion. \r\r...Cut...\r\rI agreed with this much, the rest of your post however was nonsense. Warrior tanks are made of solid gold right now.. Who needs healing if you don't take damage in the first place?

Seems mages need going to spam frostfire bolts again just like in WotLK, or speccing to arcane.... *shiver*.

Watch, Blizz seems to really hate us so i don't think that will stay.

So they buff warriors and then nerf them twice in a row, there's a huge shock, it's not like this doesn't happen every expansion. We always get buffed at the start and then nerfed into the ground by the end of an expansion.

It's not about buffing or nerfing certain class, Blizz said it they want to make all dps specs deal around the same amount of damage so we can focus on playing orur favourite class, not fotm spec, to win @ raiding. Hence the changes.

I really don't get why people are complaining about current nerfs\/buffs.They stated that all nerfs and buffs are primarily meant for lvl 100 content. This means that current numbers you're seeing on your screen at lvl 90 are absolutely 100% invalid, and so are the patchwerk sims at lvl 100 (as no fight will be completely patchwerk).\r\rWe as a community do not have the data sheets Blizzard has, so they clearly have the best view on what class and spec is overperforming at certain fights compared to other classes. So please don't complain when you only have a narrow view of solely your class in current content.\r\rSo far I've seen complains of: \r- Hunters\r- Warriors\r- Mages\r- Paladins\r\rThe rest will follow, I'm sure.
